The Cr[AI]tive Revolution - The Future of Art (Full Documentary)

AI is here. Artists, game developers, writers, voice actors, video creators... All creative industries are about to be rattled up like never before. What does this mean for creatives? How can you prepare? What does the future hold? In this full length (and ad-free) documentary I want to invite you to a deep dive into the topic of AI. I don't have all the answers, but we need to start having a nuanced discussion about this right now before it's to late!

I don't have all the answers. Your opinion matters. Keep the discussion civilized and let's talk!

[sammtavv]

Dear jonas, I really have to congratulate you. You've worked your hardest to keep posting content on YouTube and making cool games and programs. This documentary is probably the peak of your effort. You are really a success of a person.

[thomasbrush]

Thanks for having me Jonas. You are a master of YouTube and game dev. I’m just in awe of what you’ve made here

[YaenGamedev]

It's a pleasure to be included as a little part of this massive project. Thank you, and great work on the documentary, Jonas. I hope this reaches, informs and inspires as many people as possible.

[fieryimmortal]

To be fair, the only reason I was able to guess that they were all AI generated, was because I wasn't playing the ''image guessing'' game, I was playing the ''predicting the youtuber trying to prove a point about that you're not able to tell the difference between the real and fake images'' game.

[DoodleChaos]

Amazing job on this documentary Jonas! Your hard work on this really shows!

[soirema]

34:00 the protest on ArtStation isnt to just boycote AI, its to protect their work from being stolen to the database, and signify that it was human generated

[netanelaker]

Gotta love how the corporates' priority, and by extension, humanity's priority, isn't to cure cancer with A.I, fix climate change, fix human suffrage in third world countries, etc, but to replace creatives and fight who is going to have the better means of control upon us.

And you also gotta love how we all must say "these corporations are too powerful, and the toys they are giving me are too fun" instead of putting checks and balances.

Gotta love humanity overall.

[VertexCarver]

Having spent the past 6 years with a part time job to enter the creative industry, there's always going to be room for the best. However, I can't see how this won't kill the majority of entry jobs in the creative industry.
In my opinion, cleaning up the A.I's illustration to me, sucks any joy out of the job. There's a huge difference if you're just tangetial to being a specialist & hold loose opinions about this. But don't go full Dunning–Kruger & state that it's fine as it is.

Btw, the A.I. is very skewed toward the top 1% of art in its data set as it's the desired outcome. The majority of it's training is done by the body of work of professionals without our permission. All traning data is not created equal so it's not as far removed as you guys insinuate. It's happening regardless is not a valid argument for exploitation & misuse.

[Goodgis]

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this, Jonas. It's incredibly import as it effects the future for everyone. Thanks so much!

I’m not against any tools or systems themselves, I’m against the lazy people that are flooding art sites with garbage. Hands with extra fingers and blending with other body part, continuity issues on the negative space, and overall weird errors on the image. Plus they’re often generic (100s of pictures whose character have the same faces). Any bad person can rapidly “spam” garbage content on the site and render finding actual art as finding a needle in a haystack. Even if the copyright problem is fixed, gaining an audience (views, subscribers, patreon supporters) is much harder than ever.

[KiewieGames]

My guy casually dropping this masterpiece like it’s a normal video

[oxisprimus]

This video should be preserved for ALL future generations. Well Done, My Friend.

[dungeoneering]

It is hard to have a nuanced discussion when a bunch of artificial artists ("prompt engineers") enter the field of art and intentionally insult professional artists, antagonize them, steal their work, and then claim to be art gods. All while threatening to end their careers.

[TheShelfman]

This documentary is insane. Great job on it Jonas! Proud to be able to say I helped. Looking forward to seeing what people think. (Now go take a nap)

[jhhwild]

I think AI art will likely drive artists offline to create "organic human made" art to distinguish themselves from AI. If AI art is indistinguishable from the real thing artists will have to go out of their way to prove they actually made the art themselves, maybe a video of the entire process of making the art will be included as a certificate of authenticity. Or even live art making in front of an audience. People forget that we appreciate impressive human talent.

[naytron]

This is, by far, the best piece of content that you've made Jonas. And that's saying a lot, your stuff has always been consistently great. Deep, thoughtful, explored from all sides, funny, friendly, and professional. Next level my friend, your passion really shines in this one.

[_remblanc]

What is being meant when people talk about AI being a grift is not that the technology itself is a grift, but rather that many grifters have caught onto it and are trying to deliberately devalue the work of artists and probe the publications working with artists and paying them money. These people see generative AI as a get-rich-quick scheme to speedrun art without putting in much of a real effort, and that really sucks.

P.S. Cryptographic proof doesn’t need to be tied to a blockchain, let’s stop forcing this “Web3” meme for good.

[oneirmancer]

When people discuss AI, a lot of the times they present it as some abstract magical entity that one day will replace us or something. But in reality AI doesn't exist in and of itself. There's always a human actor involved. Whether it is a person creating and training AI or a person just using it, there always is someone "pushing the button".

So the issues we're now facing aren't really about the AI. They are about how we as humans interact with each other. Be it something practical like copyright laws and art theft, or something philosophical like what we consider "art". AI just managed to push these issues to their extreme in a really short span of time, applied enough pressure to reveal the problems we've been sweeping under the rug.

In that regard, it is unfair to blame "AI" for anything. It is actually helping us by forcing us to face these problems.

[doviart-fashiondesignersli]

Your documentary got me thinking really hard. what exactly is art? I had the same anguish the last year at the art academy while working on my diploma work and now your documentary awaken that question again. In my understanding art is everything that goes beyond the visual, audio or text. It's the emotion, the intention, the message, the energy that distinguishes the art from a copy, from eye candy without any substance. What I see here that those images will oversaturate the internet and beyond and the visual tiredness, plus the social consequences will take over and the search for what's "real" will take over. Same as with fast fashion, it dominated for a while and now the problems it created are paving the way for desire of quality. For an artist to watch all this unfolding is very challenging, but it also a call not to fall asleep on achievements, not to despair, but learn, get creative and figure out how to use this as a tool, adapt and keep creating art that touches another human being on a soul level.
